Did You Know?
| Trivia | Fernando Di Leo admitted that, with a critical eye, the scenes at the Police Station among the "fascist" Commissario and the "communist" Mercuri should be taken off because they take strength out of the main story. But the work of actors Frank Wolff and Luigi Pistilli was so good that he couldn't absolutely cut it off. See more » |
| Goofs | During the brief gun fight, the handgun sound effects do not match the barrel flashes. One flash, 3 gunshots. See more » |
